Tried to pick something up from Batteries Plus today, first time ever in that store. Dude told me to put a mask on, so I just left.

I don't need it that quick so I'll just order it from Bezos.

Gotta vote with your wallet. If there's no convenience to brick and mortar stores, they no longer serve a purpose.

Went to REI in San Antonio today. Some little punk 1/3 my age was monitoring the door and said, "sir, we are still requiring masks." So I promptly turn around and told him that I was going elsewhere.

Two can play that game.

If we do not demand that the Governor's orders be respected, then these liberal Marxists will forever rule us.

REI will be one of the last holdouts clinging to masks. One look at their employee parking filled with subarus covered in beto, patagonia, and coexist stickers tells you all you need to know.

You were fine up to this point.

Private business, they can do what they want. You did the best thing you could do for yourself. You left.

If a private business wants to require masks, or a chicken costume, thats fine. Just don't go there.

The Governor's orders are being respected. It's no longer required by the government. What a private business chooses to do is up to them, and you're free to go to another business that doesn't make you wear a mask. What you're seeing now is exactly how thing should have been from the start...government staying out of it and allowing the business to choose.

For sure! Went today and they have an updated sign "STILL" requiring masks and another referencing the withdrawal of mask mandates and how they don't care.

I have lost two close friends to cancer. I cannot believe the amount of people who don't eat a strict organic Keto diet.

HEY!!! Don't knock Subarus!

Went to Spec's, Twin Liquor, and 7-11 today. Signs said masks required but I went in all three places without a mask anyway and no one said anything. I even had a long conversation with my Spec's lady in the wine department who knows EVERYTHING and she had a mask on but down under her chin because I obviously didn't care. And the checkout lady and I visited about the vaccine, still no problems.

Little did I know!

I did the same with Best Buy. I actually told the mask guy I would go buy it from Bezos. He obviously doesn't care, but like you say, vote with your wallet. Best Buy is all in on the masks.

Sun and Ski in The Woodlands did not enforce masks last week. They fit the rib in a new pair of ski boots and never said a word.

Why'd you fit a rib in a boot

Was there a year ago to the day. Folks were starting to sketch out as hand sanitizer stations popped up all over the lobby.

The pool was fantastic as I was pretty much the only one swimming.

Love that resort.

It's pretty incredible, I'm pleasantly surprised

Have most of the guests stopped playing mask theater?

Absolutely, ever now and then you'll see the mom in a family wearing a mask, but not the Dad or the kids, which shouldn't surprise anyone

Just trying to help you

Been to PetsMart twice today (groomers). Sign on the door said masks required and most people inside had them on. Both times I didn't wear a mask and no one said anything.

Triggered by God's work?

No one wearing masks at urban air in cypress. I don't think they even had a sign for them.

I expected not to have to wear if playing but I'm just watching my kid and didn't even have to wear one.

I went maskless to Target, HEB, TJ Maxx, Academy and Walmart over the weekend.

Target had a big sign saying mask required to enter but no one said anything. 90% of people had masks.
HEB had a lady covering the front door like she was the mask nazi but she said nothing. Plenty of people without masks but more than half had a mask.
TJ Maxx had someone that guarded the door and offered a mask but I said no thanks and they were fine with it. It was a little awkward being the only one in the store with no mask. I like to blend in.
Academy had a sign saying it is your choice and half the people were maskless.
Walmart, I didn't notice any signs when I entered and more than half the store did not have masks.

Yeah, when you beat it to death anything does.

If I would have said the wife, some DB would have called Rule #1.

So here goes try #2

Hey guys. I took my significant other, who is Fightin Texas Aggie Class of '97 whoop, to Sun and Ski Sports to outfit her beautiful feet with a pair of new ski boots manufactured by Tecnica in Japan. The young man there, who is not an Aggie, but a nice guy, did a great job on the fit and we are excited to hit the slopes this weekend. He did not required either us to wear a mask the entire time. Below is a picture of the wife's feet which I hope satisfies rule #1.

JK, you jerkoffs don't get a pic

Pappas restaurants have a "masks encouraged" sign up, which obviously means optional

I think most Landrys restaurants are masks optional too

Jax Grill on shepherd is also mask optional
